Principal's Message
Dear Wildcats,
What a great looking staff we are, if I do say myself! Your light is shining and we move forward to do the good work. Congratulations on completing 7 days of instruction strong! As we head into our next week, keep in mind the following: take a deep breath, lend a hand wherever you can, ask for help, and engage your scholars in relevant lessons/ material! If you have an opportunity, read this great article on Inpiration in the classroom:

Have a phenomenal week my friends!
Wildcat Love and respect,
